Building Systems Engineer - Project Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Building Systems Engineer or Project Engineer with a strong Mechanical background to join our team. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, coordination, delivery, and optimization of building mechanical systems—particularly HVAC—for energy generation facilities and commercial/educational projects. This role blends technical engineering expertise with project execution responsibilities, supporting design-build delivery, system integration, and long-term operational performance.

• Lead or support the design and development of building mechanical systems (i.e., HVAC systems, Ventilation/Indoor quality, Hydronics, Plumbing-related mechanical coordination, building automation and control, etc.) for commercial and educational buildings.
• Perform or oversee load calculations, equipment selection, ductwork/piping layout, energy modeling, and system integration using industry-standard tools (e.g., Trace, HAP, Carrier, Revit, AutoCAD).
• Coordinate multidisciplinary project efforts across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, controls, and structural disciplines to ensure cohesive building systems design and delivery.
• Prepare and review design documents, specifications, drawings, calculations, and project deliverables for HVAC, hydronic, ventilation, and related mechanical systems.
• Support design-build project execution from concept through construction administration, including schedule coordination, budget awareness, and technical issue resolution.
• Evaluate system performance for energy efficiency, reliability, and seamless integration with renewable or alternative energy sources.
• Conduct site visits, field investigations, commissioning support, and coordination with operations/maintenance teams.
• Ensure designs and installations comply with applicable codes, standards (ASHRAE, IMC, NFPA, etc.), and client requirements.
• Review contractor submittals, respond to RFIs, and provide technical support during construction and startup.
• Collaborate with project managers, owners, and facility operators to support long‑term building systems performance and maintenance considerations.
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to continuous improvement of design standards, project processes, and best practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Building Systems Engineering, or a related field (PE license preferred or ability to obtain within a reasonable timeframe).
• 5–10 years of progressive experience in building systems engineering, or project engineering roles.
• Proven experience with HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial, institutional, and/or industrial/energy generation facilities.
• Strong technical foundation in HVAC principles, hydronic systems, ventilation, energy recovery, and building systems integration.
• Proficiency in HVAC load calculation software, AutoCAD, and Revit (BIM experience preferred).
• Familiarity with energy codes, sustainability standards, and high-efficiency system design.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate projects, manage technical deliverables, and work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for site visits and project meetings.

• Experience with design‑build project delivery and energy infrastructure (CHP, combined cycle, biogas/landfill gas facilities, central utility plants).
• Knowledge of renewable energy integration, thermal energy systems, and performance optimization.
• Experience supporting operations, maintenance, or commissioning of building and energy systems.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Project management exposure or PMP certification a plus.
• LEED accreditation or…
